Thank you for bringing this up. I chose the name Kandalf as more or less a temporary name. My reasoning went something like this: "Most AI chatbots have a human-sounding name; Kandalf is not in use and would make a fine name. I can't think of anything better myself, and I don't want to reuse Konqui, so I'll go with Kandalf."

If you have suggestions for names, please leave them below.

At this point, while the app is not necessarily feature-complete or fully polished, it's getting close to that point. Therefore, I'd like to officially request a review of Kandalf for inclusion in the KDE apps.
